"This was an excellent place to stay while visiting Estes Park. It was a 15 minute drive to town. I especially enjoyed the easy hike 5minutes away around the lake. The staff was very nice and helpful. The mountain views from the deck were amazing. I would definitely stay here again."

"Our two families had a great stay. The location was perfect—quiet neighborhood with quick and easy access to RMNP and Estes Park but not right in town. The space was great for what we needed—very well stocked kitchen, bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious, and we enjoyed the outdoor space—cooking, eating, relaxing and hot tub."
